Towerborne - March Update (Release Notes)

Towerborne 1.1 March Patch Notes

It’s been about a month since Towerborne 1.0 released, and during that time we’ve been working on a patch to fix many of the issues we’ve seen reported, including players affected by modified Scale display settings.

Listening to feedback, we’ve made a variety of improvements to classes, improving flow and providing some help for those Pyroclast players in harder difficulties. Enjoy!
